The cemetery is a huge plus, kind of like a greenbelt that will never be developed. However, the house is another story.

With that wall of windows and the sun shining directly in, who would want to pay those utility bills in the summer?

If you have a wall of windows in this climate, they need to be north facing so the sun never shines in directly. The only exception is the bathroom. Love the sun beaming into the bathroom, filtered (I have stained glass in my current house) as no stranger needs to see me in my full glory

I'm curious. Why would you consider it a minus, living next to a cemetery? Is it a "creepiness" factor? I suppose you can have strangers trooping around nearby to leave flowers and pay respects. All this has been given some thought.

Interesting thing is, judging by the pictures, the "wall of windows" was specifically put in so you could have a colossal view of the cemetery (from both upstairs and downstairs!). So you just don't live next door to it. It's a part of your life when you're living there. You have breakfast, lunch, and dinner looking out on headstones, and you're enjoying your living room time looking out at the same headstones. That's a novel architectural strategy.

FWIW, 1604 Navasota is across the street from the cemetery.

I guess for folks who live on a golf course, golf is part of their lives. I guess for folks who live next to a forest, the forest is part of their lives in the same way. Of course, "golf" means recreation, and a "forest" can mean nature. "Cemetery" could just mean death or mourning. If you're going to make something part of your life, make sure it means something to you that you like to live with. Now, it could also mean rest, and or peace.

To me, living next to a forever quiet green field would be nice. Living with a view of headstones, maybe not so much.

Those windows don't look tinted. I investigated tinting all of my windows (also replacing them) and it was north of $25K for my house. I opted not to do that.
